DOUBLE UP!
Since November of 2007 Capitol Centre Market has more than doubled the collection of recyclables within our store. Team members find handy collection points within our backroom where it is easy to do the right thing with recylables.
CARDBOARD RECYCLING!
In 2007 Capitol Centre Market recycled over 89 tons of cardboard! We bale our boxes after stocking and recycle every day of the week!
PLASTIC BAG RECYCLING STATION!
Customers can drop off plastic bags in our front lobby. These bags are then recycled and diverted from the landfill.
REUSABLE BAGS!
Capitol Centre Market now offers 2 varieties of reusable grocery bags. In addition customers receive a 10 cent rebate when they reuse a bag.
PALLET SHRINK WRAP!
Nearly all product that is delivered to our store comes wrapped in shrink wrap. In the past this wrap was discarded into the waste stream. Since November 2007 we have been collecting this wrap and recycling it. This item alone represents a huge opportunity to avoid filling the landfill.
BOTTLE/CAN BIN!
We have handy bins for bottles and cans. These items are collected and then recycled preventing them from ending up in the landfill.
HEAT RECLAIM!
A very large percentage of heat within our store comes from a heat reclaim system run off of our compressors that provide energy to run equipment in our store.
EARTH FRIENDLY PRODUCTS!
You will find many new items in our store that provide consumers a more earth friendly alternative to conventional products. From paper products to cleaning items watch for the "Earth Friendly" tag on the shelf.
GROCERY DELIVERY!
Eack week we deliver hundreds of orders for our customers. This service keeps many cars off the road. It provides an easy way for customers to live without a car and not worry about getting groceries home.
LOCAL SUPPLIER!
Our primary supplier, Certco, is located 6 miles from our store. We buy the majority of our product from Certco thus saving energy and other enviromental costs.
BIG CHANGE!
In January 2009 we replaced 30 doors of frozen foods at Capitol Centre Market. Our old doors were 25 years old and were very energy inefficient. Since putting our new doors in we have reduced our electrical consumption greatly! An added benefit has been using the heat off of the new compressors to heat our store!

YIPPEE!! LOCAL PRODUCE!
During the summer and fall of 2009, Capitol Centre Market began focusing on sourcing locally grown produce. The results were fantastic! Because of great customer support we will continue to source and sell locally produced fresh fruits and vegatables. YIPEE!!
